Reagan VS Obama

In Congress – the Senate is expected to debate and pass a highway and public transportation spending bill this week that could create 2.8 million jobs.

Unfortunately, similar efforts in the House have stalled out as Republicans hold funding hostage in exchange for the Keystone pipeline. When Reagan came into office back in 1981 during the worse economic recession since the Great Depression – he, and Congress, increased government spending by 12% over the next four years to get America out of that recession. But today – Congress has forced President Obama to CUT government spending – which is why the economic recovery has been slow. Luckily for Reagan – Mitch McConnell wasn't dedicating his every effort to make him a one-term President.
